Help me give my students a watershed model so they can see the effects of littering and other pollutants on our environment.

My Project
I work with two third-grade classes (60 amazing children). They range in diversity and ability. Some are Autistic, and many receive special education services. We are a Title I school, and all of my students are from low-income households, so they all receive free breakfast and lunch every day.
Littering is a huge problem in our community, so I asked myself, "What if they see for themselves the chain of events that littering creates?"
I often tell my students that they are the caretakers of their planet, but they seem disconnected. With this project, I'm requesting a watershed model that will demonstrate what happens to litter and other environmental pollutants when it rains. My students will be able to see the litter go all the way to our rivers and oceans through this model. My hope is that they will be inspired to change their own practices and encourage others to do the same.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
